This happened with a party I was part of once but completely uncoordinated. We decided that our characters were meeting for the first time so we did all our characters separately. DM said it was set in a vague victorian-age style setting and we ended up with:
Two identical Cowboy-themed chaotic alignment criminal gunslinger (not the class, we were using the firearm stats from the back of the DM manual, they were a rogue and a cleric) red tieflings with white hair, a habit of robbing banks, and problems with authority, named Revolution (Lou) and Anarchy (Ana) respectively.
Human Paladin following a homebrewed Oath of the Worker (found it online back then but can't find it now, I'll come back and link it if I find it again)
dwarf warlock who's underground home was turned into a coal mine and made a pact with a demon in an attempt to get it back
banjo bard
DM plopped us down in a company town and we got straight to work unionizing
Oath of the Common Man is what your friend was probably playing. I'm doing a 7 intelligence half orc with that subclass. It's really fun to explain principles of labor theory as a total dumbass.
Not being able to read or write and reciting the tenants to a manifesto has led to some pretty funny moments. My character and I were drunk once and I riffed for a minute about the key features, about half were legit and half were jokes like "sugar, spice, and everything nice." I forget about it until we come back to the town. My DM wrote everything I said down and the dwarf labor organizer I was talking to got them tattooed on his back. It was great, 10/10 would recommend.

Banjo bard was probably the key organizer.

That's exactly what it was! The next time I get to play I'm
